Playin'
Not included on this second set only SBD, the Playing in the Band is one of the best ever. Only clocking in at just over eleven minutes (the Europe 72' tour saw the first extensions on Playin', in particular this Strand Lycuem run really started the exploratory versions.)
Obviously you can't get this here any more. BUT pick up the Europe 72' Volume 2 disc for cheeper than the 400.00 Complete Europe 72'. It contains this monster Playin', one that would redefine the way they would play it from there on out.

dissonant
Hey Cliff Hucker, you use the word 'dissonant' as if it were a bad thing. Some folks might beg to differ. Anyway, the main attraction here is another long '72 Other One, with all sorts of variety, and, yes, atonality to spice things up, and as noted below, beautiful Garcia solo in Sing Me Back Home.

The Other One: (6:30) Is that Duanne and Betts?
Another rather difficult performance to score. If the complete show was available in the sound quality of the Andy Lemieux remaster it would undoubtedly garner a score a couple of points higher. Although a number of songs from this performance have been included in official releases, the incomplete show is only available in poor audience recordings and unfortunately several songs are cut, and a significant portion of the second set is entirely missing. Luckily a partial recording including the compelling second set jam is available as a very good quality soundboard.
Following the neat Mexican Hat Dance tuning jam, Truckin' seems a bit rushed. But the thirty-minute performance of The Other One, though somewhat dissonant at times, is nicely jazzy and contains some brilliant passages. It's a rather edgy version, largely driven by Phil's bass lines. A gorgeous jazzy theme developes about three and a half minutes in, but unfortunately it breaks down prematurely. At 6:30, both guitars lock in on a great duet, Garcia and Weir sounding not unlike Duanne and Betts during this extended passage prior to the first verse. An atonal space segment follows, but Phil pushes this into a nice jazzy groove starting at 17:30. A Caution-like theme developes before a another spacey jam with sustained keyboard effects. Once again it's Phil bass driving the band back into The Other One theme prior to the second verse conclusion.
Pig's following performance of Lovelight> Two Souls is excellent. Unfortunately, most of the balance of the set is missing. Against the extraordinarily high level of the performances preceeeding this one, it pales somewhat in comparison. But in truth this is a dynamite show! The second set jam as well as the material included on the official releases is certainly quite compelling. (95 pts)

From over the pond on the island....Stereo Hi-Fi sound, excellent mix.
A charmingly wonderful archive from the show. A "must have" for us collectors of 1972 GRATEFUL DEAD.
Signature performances from 1972.
A rock'n performance of "TRUCKIN." "SING ME BACK HOME" with Donna on back-up vocals is divine and Garcia's solo is beautiful.
There are only 7 songs here, Mexican Hat Dance is not a song, and Sugar Magnolia is :42 long...Oops!
Get it while you can, get it while it's free, get it now or you'll be sorry.
Eat, Drink, be Merry and Listen to the GRATEFUL DEAD.
Thanks for the love.
